^Wliat Our Map Comprises. 

Oar map includes an area of seventy miles 
in direct, length by fifty in breadth. Its ex- 
treme northern point is the city of Baltimore, 
and Drum Point, at the mouth of the Patuxent 
river on Chesapeake bay, is its extreme soutii- 
erly point. Between these two points the 
line of the Drum Point Railroad is designated, 
running through the length of x\nne Arundel 
and Calvert counties. The city of Washing- 
ton is along its western outline, while tlie 
Chesapeake bay constitutes its eastern boundary. 
Parts of Baltimore, Howard, Montgomerv^, 
Charles and St. Mary's counties, and all of 
■Anne Arundel, Calvert and Prmce George's 
counties are accurately laid down upon it, with 
all railroads, cities, towns, villages ad water- 
courses that come within the area which it 
covers. This is a complete representation of the 
• section of country we are advertising, and it 
is one of the most interesting localities in the 
United States. All should send at once for our

Annapolis. 

The city of A.nnapolis is the capital of Mary- 
land. It is also the county seat of Anne 
Arundel county. No healthier or more delight- 
ful town for residence can be found. We have, 
here the public buildings. A bird's eye view of 
the locality to which we invite attention can be 
obtained from the balcony upon the dome 
of the State House. At our feet lies the quaint 
old ciiy, its streets all radiating from this center 
like the spokes of a wheel. Directly in its 
rear is the fine brick building which is the home ' 
of our Govern rs. Then next is old St. Anne's 
P. E. Church, tSt. Mary's Catholic Church, the 
Methodist and German Lutheran Churches, the 
historic St. John's College, and the famous 
United States Naval Academy. Just beyond J 
is the beautiful Severn river, and t^ the east ) 
lies the broad Cliesaneake bav. ^ 

I 

U. S. Naval Academy. 

This is a national school to pre})are young men 
for entering ihe Navy. The buildings are all 
capacious and costly. The cadets' quarters is a j 
very large building, the armory, laboratory and 
steam engineering buildings, the observatory 
and library, are all points of interest. Hand-^ 
some rows of private residences for the use of 1 
ihe officers, (fee, front upon broad and pleasant \ 
walks and terraces. The grounds are neatly 
kept, covering an area of about 50 acres, de- 
lightfully shaded and carpeted with a sward of 
closely shaven grass. In summer these grounds 
are thronged with visitors from ev' ry part of 
the world. The adjacent river is often animated 
with United States vessels at anchor.

St. Jolm^s College 

Is a State institution and under superior 
management. Between one and two hundred 
students from the counties of Maryland and 

' almost every State in the Union, are gathered 
within its memorable halls. The school of 
which St. John's is the out-growth was estab- 
lished in pursuance of a "Petitionary Act," 
passed by the Maryland Legislature in 1696. 

! So St. John's ranks among the oldest institu- 
tions of America. Surrounded by a beautiful 
campus of about 26 acres, with the advantage 
of United States military and naval officers, 
under the former of whom the boys are daily 
drilled, the college offers to all who come 

■ here superior advantages for attaining a thorough 

' education. 

Sttmmer Resorts. 

Three miles out of Annapolis, by way of An- 
napolis and Bay Ridge railroad, on a high 
point of land where the Severn river empties 
into the Chesapeake bay, is the beautiful sum- 
mer resort of Bay Ridge. Her«e are fine hotels, 
pavilions, and all the attractions that make the 
heated season enjoyable to excursionists. And 
thousands of visitors daily throng the magnifi- 
cent park which is laid off here, bathe in the 
salt water, or sail upon the lake. Excursions 
come here by rail 'and steamer from Baltimore 
and Washington every day of the season. 

Round Bay is located upon the Severn river 
a few miles from Annapolis. It is a beautiful 
sheet of water, dotted with islands and bor^ 
dered by bold and strikingly wooded shores. 



6 Melmn & ManchaJs 

The Short Line railroad runs special trains to 
this beautiful resort. Bathing and boating 
houses afford entertainment, while pavilions 
and restaurants offer rest and refreshment. A 
large hotel will shortly be built here. 

Must Rapidly Develop. 

Anne Arundel and Calvert counties, though 
Ivins right near Baltimore and Washington, are 
Ipss known to the outside world than the great 
West. They have never been advertised. The 
farming is largely in the old ruts, in the prim- 
itive state. Much of the country is yet in 
woods, but the Short Line railroad has opened 
a fine, choice section, and the Drum Point rail- 
road, now being constructed, opens other parts. 
With all points convenient to salt water navi- 
^^ation, together with numerous railroads, this 
section must develop; and we regard it the best 
ooening for investments in real estate to be 
found. 

Soil. 

The soil varies from sandy to clay loam. It 
is mostly high, dry and healthy. Much of it has 
been farmed out with tobacco, but is very kind, 
and easily and readily made productive. Half 
the lime and manure that is required to keep 
up the lime stone valleys of Pennsylvania will 
improve and make this land rich and very pro- 
ductive. In fact, it is fairly productive now. ^^_ 

Grass and Grain, M 

The country for miles most convenient to 
Baltimore is almost entirely devoted to the 
growth of vegetables and small fruits. Many ■ 



Descriptive Catalogue. 7 

of the farms grow two, and some even three 
crops in a season. The land is strong and fer- 
tile, or it would not continue to yield, but this 
constant cropping gives it no time to let the 
land li^ in grass. Hence, visitors from grain 
and grass growing countries will be struck with 
the absence of grass fields in passing through 
that section nearest to the cities. Corn is 
grown for feed after early crops of truck.' But 
we have good grass and grain lands, and we 
think a change of the present system of farm- 
ing, intermixing grass and wheat, would be a 
great improvement. 

Our Principal Crops. 

Our soil is adapted to the growth of grain and 
grass, but especially profitable in the raising of 
Vegetables, peaches, berries, and other fruits. 
The early vegetables and berries of Anne 
Arundel are particularly popular in Baltimore 
markets. The soil is peculiarly adapted to 
their rapid and early growth and perfect devel- 
opment. Our proximity to the salt water of the 
Chesapeake Bay and its tributaries is a protec- 
tion against frosts, early and late, so that large 
and remunerative crops are raised here, when 
other less favored sections fail to produce as 
good results. 

Cliinate. 

The climate is equal to any in the world. 
Our summers are not oppressive, owing to the 
fact that the cooi bay breezes temper the at- 
mosphere and reduce the heat. On the other 
hand we are free from the extreme cold weather 
of the Northern States. In this respect, the 



8 Melvin & Mancha's 

contiguity of large bodies of salt water mod- 
erates the temperature. We have some winter 
days when the thermometer gets below zero. 
Frequently, however, the winter passes without 
touching that point. 

Healtlifuliiess. 

We have no local causes to make the county 
unhealthful. We have no bodies of stagnant 
water. Our streams are swiftly running waters 
and our larger water-courses are composed of 
salt water. The county is free from malarial 
trouble, the climate is favorable to those dis- 
posed to throat or lung affections ; in short, this 
is pre-eminently a healthful climate. 

LrUxuries. 

The salt water luxuries of crabs, superior 
food fish and fine oysters, together with water 
fowl of various sorts, give residents of Anne 
Arundel an enviable variety, contributing both 
te the health and economy of their living. 

Farmers whose places run to the water often 
bed oysters for market and their home con- 
sumption. And no farms are too remote from 
salt water to procure these luxuries in abun- 
ance. 

Cost of Liying: 

Here is very moderate. Our people, while 
hospitable, are not extravagant in their tastes 
or mode of living. There are a number of good 
stores in Annapolis and elsewhere in the county, 
although there are openings for others. Every- 
thing can be purchased as cheaply in this sec- 
tion as in almost any other.

china clay and potter's clay, also of brick clay, 
are found in another section upon navigable 
water and near the city of Baltimore. These are 
very valuable and ought to be immediately

capitalists and those who know how to work it 



10 Melvin & Manchd's 

Scliools. 

The Public School System of this State is 
one of the finest in America. Numerous school 
houses are located at such points in the districts 
as are most convenient to the people. These 
are open to all ten months in the year; are well 
taught and largely attended. 

Cliurclies 

Are scattered over every district of this and 
adjoining counties, and cordially welcome all to 
attendance upon their services. 

]»Iil]s. 

The fine water powers which occur every few 
miles through this section afford mill sites 
which are improved with mills. These furnish 
to our farmers all needed facilities for obtaining 
flour and our fine southern white corn meai,j 
which is so popular and in so great demand. [ 

Proximity to Markets. | 

Being very near, too, to markets, fruits and 
vegetables go in fresh and in best condition, and 
by reason of this command the highest prices. 
Farmers often, too, carry in their own products 
by sail vessels or wagens, and thus save cost of 
transportation. I 

The entire section which our map (price \ 
10 cents) presents to our readers and customers, ^ 
embracing counties on the Western bay side 
and in central and southern Maryland, has 
unparalleled advantages in the way of superior 
and readily accessible markets. A little to 
the west of us is the city of Washington, where 
f be highest prices are paid for those early vege- 



Descriptive Catalogice, li 

tables which our truck farmers know so wfeU 
how to raise. Then directly north of us, and 
within easy ride by cars or boats, is the city of 
Baltimore, which constantly calls for Anne 
Arundel products, and from which railroads 
carry the surplus to adjoining cities and States. 
The city of Annapolis, also, with a popula- 
tion of about 10,000, rapidly increasing, fur- 
nishes a fine market for those wno engage in 
raising truck, vegetables, fruits, etc. Many of 
the properties we offer are finely adapted to 
this business. 

Wages. 
Good farm labor can he hired at from 50 cts. 
to $1.00 per day. Abundant labor can be pro- 
cured from Baltimore city. 

Wily Uo T2iey W^asit To Sell? 

Many have hundreds, and some over a thous- 
and acres of land. They can r.ot successfully 
manage it. What do you think of the Grien 
Burnie tract, over 3,000 acres, bdonging to one 
party, distant 4 to 8 miles from Baltimore, 
since the war grown up largely in woods, and 
unknown to the outside world until the railroad 
brought it to light ? And now is the time to 
take hold of it. It was a great business place 
before the war, and must now take new lilt; 
and a new start. Come and see. 

Our Xowii I^ocatioiig. 

We call particular attention to our town loca- 
tions and investments, off*ering fine building 
sites near the city of Baltimore, with special 1)^ 
low rates of fares to settlers. Every induce- 



12 Melmn <fe Mancha^s 

ment is offered and plenty of chance to locate 
where advantages are so great that, properly 
improved and used, settlers and especially truck 
farmers and business men, cannot i\x\\ to maka 
a comfoi table living, and at the same time 
obtain property which must greatly enhance 
in value. For full particulars as to town prop- 
erties see our descriptive circulars and plats, 
furnished on application. 

Glen Burnie. 

The section of country in the upper part of 
Anne Arundel county between the Patapsco 
river on the north, and the Severn on the south, 
although indented by the beautiful Magothy 
^ river and numerous other navigable streams, 
was, comparatively speaking, a sealed book 
until the Annapolis and Baltimore Short Line 
railroad opened it up. The construction of 
the Baltimore and Drum Point railroad now 
being pushed rapidly forward to completion, 
together with the advantages of the Short Line 
already in operation, is bringing to notice a vast 
area of land with natural advantages, and at- 
tractions rarely equalled. 

The town plat of Glen Burnie is beautifully 
laid off into spacious avenues and town lots of 
60x150 feet immediately upon the Short Line 
railroad, and running at right angles with this 
road, almost through the center of the (own is 
the proposed Drum Point railroad. Only a 20 
minutes ride from Camden Street Station, Balti- 
more. A fine shelled wagon road connects this 
place with Baltimore, and only 5^ miles to Light 
iStreet Bridge. To those wanting town lots and 



descriptive Catalogue: IS 

village homes nothiog cati be more desirable than 
a selection at Glen Burnie. And to all bona fide 
settlers and-to persons proposing to erect buildings 
at once we will oflfer easy terms and great in- 
ducements. 

Early purchasers will of course secure the 
best locations and bargains. To the people of 
Baltimore, Glen Burnie presents attractions and 
advantages that invite consideration. Here 
they can buy lots and build homes at much less 
cost than in the city, and at the same time avoid 
heavy municipal taxation. Yet here they are 
only 20 minutes by rail from the crowded 
streets and business centers. By arrangemont 
with the Short Line railroad we expect resi- 
dents of Glen Burnie and vicinity to obtain 
tickets at rates which will be scarcely, if any, 
more than the street car fares of Baltimore. 
Here the children can run and grow healthy, 
instead oi dwindling and dying in the foul air 
of the crowded city. Here business men can 
recreate and gather fresh vigor for their work. 
Health, economy, convenience and all the other 
charming surroundings of an attractive country 
home mark Glen Burnie as a favored spot 
and indicate that m a few years important in- 
terests and extensive population must center 

there, 

Ranson CUy 

Is only one mile below Glen Burnie on the 

Short Line railroad and is one of the iinest 

locations on the road, but yet undevoped. 

Klvaton, 

Is a most desirable location, laid off by an 
accomplished engineer upon the property of Dr. 



14 Melmn & Mancha's 

C. S. Johnson. Write for circular and plat of 
Elvaton. 

Business Opeiiins:s. 

Splendid openings for any busioess where 
water power would come in play. We invite 
the attention of capitalists especially to our 
Gleu Burnie estate. See Glen Burnie circular. 

Manufactures. 

On this tract, of which Glen Burnie is only a 
small part, we find first-class water power and a 
good harbor on navigable water, offering sites 
with fine natural advantages for manufacturing 
purposes, to which we would respectfully call the 
attention of capitalists. With railroads, navi- 
gation and excellent water power near Balti- 
more yet not in the cify limits, and not sub- 
ject to city taxation, we suggest to manu 
facturers and capitalists that this is an opening 
worth investigating, and we invite correspond- 
ence with any who may be looking out for 
such opportunities. 

Krt£it and Truck: F'armiug^. 

The lands adjacent to Glen Burnie are pecu- 
liarly suited for raising fruit and vegetables. 
Proximity to the salt water so tempers the 
climate as to protect growing vegetation against 
the frosts of late spring and early fall. In 
consequence of this, truckers will find that they 
can prosecute their business here with less risk 
and greater profit than elsewhere in the same 
latitude. Besides, the contiguity to Baltimore 
markets makes it possible to raise delicate table 
fruits and vegetables, with a quick transfer 



DescriptiTie Catalogue, 

L - 

Irom the hot-beds and gardens to the tables of 
the consumers, commanding, therefore, high 
prices on account of their freshness and quality, 
and this at little cost of transportation. We 
offer many very desirable and fertile truck 
farms on advantageous terms in the vicinity of 
Glen Burnie. 

Healtli. 

Old residents of this locality, among others 
Mr. Samuel 8. Tracey, can testify to its health- 
fulness. Mr. Tracey who has lived here 27 years, 
cleared up and put under cultivation about 100 
acres of land, and raised a large family, says 
that in that time he has not had a case of chills 
or malarial fever in his family. He can vouch 
for the complete healthfulness of this locality. 

;Shade, &c. 

Much of Glen Burnie town plat is covered 
with a young growth of chestnut and other 
shade trees, which will in time afford beautiful 
and abundant shade. 

Opportunities for Susiness. 

Glen Burnie offers peculiar advantages .for 
the establishment of the canning business. The 
surrounding is prolific in producing fruits and 
vegetables ; while the railroads and adjacent 
water communications with Baltimore provide 
facilities for shipment. 

Paper mills, cotton and woolen mills, manu- 
facturing establishments of almost every des- 
cription will find here unsurpassed advantages 
and we cordially invite all interested in such 



16 Meim7i & Mancha's 

enterprises to inspect the water privileges and 
other advantages of this section. 

Glen Burnie must grow. Mechanics will be 
in demand. A new population moving in will 
need houses and every requisite for comfort 
and convenience. Stores will also be required. 

People will need dry goods, groceries, boots 
and shoes, furniture, and the many articles that 
are required in town and country homes. 

Start with the place and thereby secure the 
first foothold. Establish yourselves in business 
here among the first, and grow up with the 
place. 

Titles 

Are good. The land records of the county 
are accurately kept and open to all. 

Our Method. 

When parties apply to us for properties we 
desire to be informed as to what they want, 
kind of land, size of place, whether for grain, 
stock, fruit and fruit farming, whether on or 
near salt water, and what amount they de- 
sire to invest, etc. 

Having the facts before us, we can point out 
the places upon our lists that "fill the bill," and 
appproximate the wishes of our customers. 

Having selected such as appear most desira- 
ble, we next introduce purchasers to the owners 
of these properties. They can then get infor- 
mation fully and in detail, and make their own 
contracts if they so desire. We have no more 
interest in the sale of one farm than of another 
and are in a position to give unbiased informa- 
tion.
